Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
- +Spiral ribs running to the top of the cone, creating an air-escape channel that no flat-walled dripper has
- +Sold in plastic, ceramic, heatproof glass and metal, so the same brew geometry comes at four price points
- +V60 papers are a shape rather than a closed system: Hario, Niveaya, PakTalk and others all make them
- +Reusable stainless V60 cones are sold by MISETTO, Barista Warrior and others
- −A single large hole makes the pour rate the brewer's responsibility, which is unforgiving for beginners
- −No price is published for it here
- −No capacity is published for the dripper itself
- +Borosilicate glass with a walnut handle, and spiral ribs, which is V60 geometry at $23.99
- +Paper filters, so the cup is cleaner than the steel drippers here
- +Under the $29.99 median
- −591ml, and one size only
- −Only some parts are dishwasher safe
- −No warranty term is published
